5.0 out of 5 stars Really cute!, January 10, 2009

By	L. Guiher (Buffalo,NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am new to sewing and found the patterns and directions in this book to be very easy, but you do need basic sewing skills to understand. The patterns are not life size so you do have to do the math to get the right size but if I can do it anyone can. All of the projects are to cute for words and I would highly recommend this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars great project book!, January 21, 2009

By	Brenda Pink "snorkelgeek" (Lethbridge, AB, CAN) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book is a wonderful book. Patterns include knitting patterns for sweaters, even a cute outfit that includes leg warmers. Of the sewing patterns are sporty designs, a velvet smoking jacket, a safari jacket. Patterns for stuffed bone toy and ball. Patterns for various beds and blankets. Also a pattern for a collar and leash. There are several that I intend to make.
